Sitting amazingly deep inside rows and rows of wooden houses is an attractive historical complex by the Perak River.
Welcome to Pasir Salak Historical Complex, Perak Tengah District.
Pasir Salak is about 50 meters south of Ipoh. This complex is the exact location where J. W. W. Birch, the first British resident of Perak was assasinated in 1875. He was speared to death while bathing!
The complex is free for anyone to roam around. The gardens are beautifully maintained and sitting by the Perak river, it makes the place romantic and serene. There is one museum called the Time Tunnel in the complex which I highly recommend all to visit. This is the only building which cost RM4 per person to enter. This Time Tunnel museum is intriguing. It is so nicely designed chronologically, a visitor would be able to learn about the history of Pasir Salak via the interesting dioramas that were set up. I loved it!
